Another beauty forensically examined (he has the forensic report) by Christopher L. Morales, Forensic Investigator.

A Christy Mathewson. Yeah, a collector owns a authentic Christy Mathewson autographed baseball and they consign it to Coach's Corner Auctions. Yeah right.

"shows off nicely from 15 feet away!"

Is that the new standard viewing distance for forensic examinations...?

"It can be read from over 10 feet away"

Guess the Matty warranted closer inspection

Where do they get all these vintage baseballs? Isn't the supply limited?

Not to mention Chris that the Signature looks like it was just signed a few days ago (which it WAS Im sure). And wow, he even had the foresight to date and add an inscription. It must have been from one of the signings Matty did at a local card show.

None of these 100+ year old signatures ever exhibit any fading. They must have been hermetically sealed and kept in a cool dry place for all these years.

How do these guys get away with consistently pumping out bad material???

I just don't get it... With the sheer volume of apparent counterfeit material being auctioned off, one would think that the autorities would be all over these guys...

What Gives?

Its an old topic Dave. Someone needs to catch the counterfeiters in the act, etc. But, if the authorities investigated, it may just be one PSA or JSA word agains those clowns words.

One thing thats interesting is Barry Sloates comment about never any fading. Any person w a TINY bit of common sense would know that a Matty Ball like that wouldn't be SO DARK. etc.

I am all for anyway I can help to shut crooks down. Someone point us in the direction. they go for LOW prices on CC, but the people who buy are fools or more likely crooks who KNOW stuff is junk and think they can dupe others.

Its a REAL BLACK mark on the hobby.

Check out the "o's" & "w's" in mathewson. I bet it took 2 minutes to fake that signature. I guarantee there will be a Ruth / Gehrig / Dimaggio / Mantle / Maris / Jeter ball coming up in their Dec auction.

Is this for real?

This looks like a spoof website or something some junior high kids put together as a prank or something.

There are no "Limited Edition" products at Coach's Corner Auctions. The Coach's Corner consignors have "private signings" with Ruth, Mantle, Gehrig, Mathewson, Cy Young, Walter Johnson, Joe DiMaggio, Joe Jackson, Mike "King" Kelly, Ed Delahanty, etc., on a monthly basis. They also have "private autograph sessions" annually with George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Amelia Earhart, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, etc.

Is there a good way to "clean" a recent signature from an otherwise-nice vintage ball?

Thank you for that; I needed a LOL moment this a.m.

I didn't know Degas was a fauvist. And that "ballerina", well, she's built more like a stripper from Iowa.

I know Christopher, the whole thing is ridiculous....but I actually meant where do they find all these blank vintage baseballs to add the signatures to? I do occasionally see vintage baseballs offered in auctions, but they need to acquire a pretty big supply of them to fill up their auctions. How many blank ones are out there?

Barry, I have to think the majority of those baseballs aren't vintage balls. Roach's Corner had one auction a few months ago where they slipped and showed the logo in the photograph and it was determined it was a 1960's baseball. It was signed by Babe Ruth...

[barrysloate]

That's actually extremely critical information. The common defense for these scoundrels is that they do their due diligence by getting LOA's for all their items. But if they offer a signature from a guy who died in 1955 on a ball that wasn't produced until 1960, wouldn't that be damning evidence?
